What If Congress Was No Longer Exempt From Obamacare?

By Phil Kerpen
The House effort to repeal and replace Obamacare flamed out in spectacular fashion and leaders in Congress seem content to move on to other issues.  But the American people continue to suffer with skyrocketing premiums and ever-smaller provider networks. About a third of the counties in America have only one insurance company left in the marketplace.  Doing nothing is an unacceptable option.
So before the president moves on to the other issues on his ambitious agenda, there is one game-changer he can personally put into the mix to give Congress a powerful incentive to get its act together and move a repeal bill forward that can command majority support: end Congress’s illegal Obamacare exemption and force members and their staff to live under the law as long as the rest of America has to.
